Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Football hooliganism periodically generates widespread political and public anxiety. In spite of the efforts made and resources invested over the past decades, football hooliganism is still perceived by politicians, policymakers and media as a disturbing social problem. This highly readable book provides the first systematic and empirically grounded comparison of football hooliganism in different national and local contexts. Focused around the six Western European football clubs on which the author did his research, the book shows how different clubs experience and understand football hooliganism in different ways. The development and effects of anti-hooligan policies are also assessed. The emphasis throughout is on the importance of context, social interaction and collective identity for understanding football hooliganism. This book will be essential reading for anyone interested in football culture, hooliganism and collective violence.

Download or read book Red Army General written by Tony O'Neill and published by Milo Books Ltd. This book was released on 2005-06-01 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Manchester United's Red Army was the most notorious hooligan mob British football has ever seen. Thousands strong, this huge tribe of disaffected youths laid siege to town centrees and soccer grounds across the country and became a byword for violent disorder. Tony O'Neill was there from the beginning and became its most prominent face. Barely in his teens when he set out from the largest council estate in Europe to follow the Red Devils, his ferocity in street combat and his force of personality soon made him a leader. Running trips in his infamous War Wagon, he became so renowned that he was invited to a sit-down meeting with the Government to discuss the hooligan problem. After serving a jail term, O'Neill emerged to lead the 'casuals' of the 1980s against an even tougher generation of opponents: West Ham's ICF, the Chelsea Headhunters, the Leeds Service Crew and the scally armies of Merseyside. Police intelligence files labelled him a 'prime mover' and he became the target of a huge undercover investigation. Red Army General is the most authoritative account ever written of the wild years when terrace terror reached its peak.

Download or read book Agrarian change in tropical landscapes written by Liz Deakin and published by CIFOR. This book was released on 2016-01-25 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agricultural expansion has transformed and fragmented forest habitats at alarming rates across the globe, but particularly so in tropical landscapes. The resulting land-use configurations encompass varying mosaics of tree cover, human settlements and agricultural land units. Meanwhile, global demand for agricultural commodities is at unprecedented levels. The need to feed nine billion people by 2050 in a world of changing food demands is causing increasing agricultural intensification. As such, market-orientated production systems are now increasingly replacing traditional farming practices, but at what cost? The Agrarian Change project, coordinated by the Center for International Forestry Research, explores the conservation, livelihood and food security implications of land-use and agrarian change processes at the landscape scale. This book provides detailed background information on seven multi-functional landscapes in Ethiopia, Cameroon, Indonesia, Nicaragua, Bangladesh, Zambia and Burkina Faso. The focal landscapes were selected as they exhibit various scenarios of changing forest cover, agricultural modification and integration with local and global commodity markets. A standardized research protocol will allow for future comparative analyses between these sites. Each case study chapter provides a comprehensive description of the physical and socioeconomic context of each focal landscape and a structured account of the historical and political drivers of land-use change occurring in the area. Each case study also draws on contemporary information obtained from key informant interviews, focus group discussions and preliminary data collection regarding key topics of interest including: changes in forest cover and dependency on forest products, farming practices, tenure institutions, the role and presence of conservation initiatives, and major economic activities. The follow-on empirical study is already underway in the landscapes described in this book. It examines responses to agrarian change processes at household, farm, village and landscape levels with a focus on poverty levels, food security, dietary diversity and nutrition, agricultural yields, biodiversity, migration and land tenure. This research intends to provide much needed insights into how landscape-scale land-use trajectories manifest in local communities and advance understanding of multi-functional landscapes as socioecological systems.

This is like no other story you will have read before. Tony Simms has lead a life some people would only dream about, as he leaves no stone unturned. From his early years following Aston Villa Football Club all over the country, to knowing all the main hooligans down Villa Park, he has many stories to tell. These include the victory over the Zulu Warriors at Garrison Lane, to his trial at Birmingham Crown Court after a mass brawl with Man United at the Adventures pub. Tony then progressed into right-wing politics with the National Front, Where he explains about explosive NF Marches, and their deadly clashes with the Anti-Nazi League. He eventually moved onto the BNP, Where he clarifies about the BNP's push for electoral power in the UK taking on all the mainstream parties and beating them. Further on down the line Tony got involved with the loyalist paramilitaries of the U.D.A, where you get a first hand account of the rise and fall of Johnny Adair, And the untimely death of Brigadier John "Grugg" Gregg. By now Tony had linked up with and befriended some of the deadliest terrorists in Northern Ireland. This is the one Book I'd recommend for anybody trying to understand the links between British Nationalism and Ulster loyalism. This story is not for the faint hearted, and told only as Tony Simms could tell it. It is gripping and sometimes disturbing as he explains the controversy surrounding "the Troubles" in loyal Ulster. Buckle down and get ready for the ride of your life!!!
